agree, stroker pistons are shorter so they dont stick up the extra stroke, if that makes sense

.60 over is waaaaaaaay too much

I bought it already bored...so I didn't have a choice

But if I bought a crankshaft and connecting rods designed for the stroker kit...wouldn't the shorter connecting rods soak up the extra soak?

And could someone verify that I would need the bottom end machined

And what is this all about cement?

.60 over? I don't see many people that dare to go beyond .40 over. That's really pushing it. Wow.

drewguere

Im a daring guy I guess...haha

But like I said, I didn't do the overbore. I bought the car like that, so that wasn't my idea.

Can someone please explain the cement thing to me?

drewguere

Anyone?

No real secret. Sold by Summit, Jegs and everyone else.
It's not really cement like you would pour the garage floor with. It's sort of a concrete product that is used in motor blocks to fill or partly fill them. Makes the block a lot stiffer so things don't move around as much.
Yep, it adds some pounds to things but it's sort of an 'out' used by drag racers all the way down to stock eliminater.

But if I bought a stroker crank and stroker connecting rods wouldn't that work?

Because the connecting rods are shorter, so they wont go up as high and hit the valves...And the crank Im looking at says it has stock diameter journals, so I dont believe I would need the bottom end of the block machined...correct?

So all I would basically need would be the crankshaft and rods

You'll have to clearance the block for the stroker crank. I'm not sure about the rest.... .060 is going to give you issues on a stock block. You'll probably run really hot.
